[76.IAP-Blackbird]

At Combatace, my regular forum, there was a statement from a user about the Lockheed issue with the F-104 in the Game Strike Fighters.

We have here the NG problem in this series, and the hint was this:

The US courts ruled against those companies a few years ago. Because the products were paid for by the US Gov, they cannot charge royalties on toys, games, etc...

So would be interesting to know the current status. When we have facts so we can build up the pacific scenario.
